Channeling Katniss

On Saturday my partner in crime, Grace Kelle of Lean Girl’s Club, and I went for our first archery lesson at Big Apple Archery in Flushing Queens. And while she always tries to find the fitness aspect in things like this, I’m on the lookout for the nerdities. Whether the odds are in your favor…

25 days of (nerdy) Christmas!

“Jingle nerds, jingle nerds, jingle all the nerds!” Day 14 & 15: Elf trivia Well… the snow won out yesterday. And the Elf tour was cancelled. Which means I have all kinds of trivia prizes that are now just sitting on my bedroom floor, very sadly. So I’m going to put the trivia questions up…

Friends Tour

There are so many shows and movies set in New York City. But out of all of them, Friends is probably the most poignant for women in their 25-35’s. It’s what we grew up watching and dreaming about. It just seemed like the coolest group of people on the planet. (Still does in reruns!) So…

My Last Words

Last night, after a delish-ful reunion with a certain red-headed roommate (who was gone from my life for 5 whole days. Wah!), at Lillie’s on W. 17th, we stopped to get a donut at Dunkin. Cause sometimes a girl just needs a giant cinnamon coffee roll (don’t judge me!) So we’re walking and talking and…

Aura of the Con

I won’t be at Comic Con till Sunday. Prior commitmets are keeping me from mecca this weekend. But knowing that the con is in town and that I’m not there feels wrong somehow. So yesterday I took a walk on the west side just to be around the essence of nerdom going on at the…

Surviving New York Comic Con

Tip #2: DO NOT plan to eat at the Javits Center. It is important for you to know that not only is the food at the Javits not incredibly delicious, it’s also not incredibly cheap. It’s the opposite of cheap. It cost an arm and a leg and unless you are smack in the middle…
